New laws coming

[gotgyne]

If I get it right, this man pesters not only you but the female staff also. It's not the question if he is demented or not, the point is that this must stop. And you are provoking him because of your blouse? What a nonsense!

The CNAs are just about fed up as well, but management just keeps saying that his "sickness" is what's causing this.

I commented on another thread about this.. 

but it's seems you have a clear cut case of a hostile work environment. If direct reports up the chain of command don't get results and your HR dept isn't corrupt. I would go there to start reporting these issues.

Unfortunately I don't work here, I am actually one of the patients a participant of the program.

my misunderstanding.

Much better day today. 

Changed tables so I am sitting far away from the perv. 
I wore a nice blouse without problems. 

The perv got in trouble for other outbursts and actions by management after acting incorrigible.

From Trav-esty:
"It’s not “ad hominem” if it’s true! "
________
B.S.:  An ad hominem is, by definition, an attack on a personal level while ignoring the issue being discussed / debated.  So, yes, it was, and still is, ad hominem.

The position you were taking was a personal position; talking points expressed by all right wing media sites. Actual experts wholly disagree with your personal opinion. That you feel personally attacked/offended says something. You may want to broaden your perspective. My take on it is to mind your own business. Why people refuse to do so? Something to bit*h about I guess.

Hey Travesty:
I don't repeat talking points (because I'm not a sniberal).
Try sticking to the subjects discussed rather than 'diss-cussing' those who express opinions different than yours.  You see, your style demonstrates that either:
1] your opinions are meritless; or:
2] you simply can't tolerate anyone disagreeing with you ( = bigotry).
Take your pick.
I suggest you shove your bigotry back up where it comes from - and maybe stop wearing your butt as a bonnet.

Wow…

This is what I am having a problem with: 

https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/texas-bill-identify-transgender-state-felony-rcna195642

A Texas state bill could charge transgender people with “gender identity fraud,” making it illegal to identify as trans on official documents and potentially leading to jail time. 

The bill, which was filed last week by Republican state Rep. Tom Oliverson, would make it a state jail felony if a person “knowingly makes a false or misleading verbal or written statement” by identifying their sex assigned at birth incorrectly to a governmental entity or to their employer. State jail felonies in Texas are punishable by up to two years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.


Before anyone jumps, the legislation is if you read it poorly written.  it just makes a daft point about sex and leaves it.  

Does not address intersex/DSD/Hermaphrodites, or other aspects.

"By: AA 1 2 Oliverson H.B. A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT A No. A 3817 relating to creating the criminal offense of gender identity fraud. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION A 1. AA Subchapter D, Chapter 32, Penal Code, is amended by adding Section 32.515 to read as follows: Sec. A 32.515. AA GENDER IDENTITY FRAUD. (a) A person commits an offense if the person knowingly makes a false or misleading verbal or written statement to a governmental entity or the person ’ s employer by identifying the person ’ s biological sex as the opposite of the biological sex assigned to the person at birth. (b) AA An offense under this section is a state jail felony. SECTION A 2. 89R14268 AJZ-D AA This Act takes effect September 1, 2025."

This is ultimate simplicity and overly broad and ambiguous.

I know a person at the mall that appears to have all the symptoms of Klinefelter syndrome (XXY chromosomes). I never asked but the symptoms are very apparent.
They were transitioning until recently when all the laws started changing. They have since cut off their lovely hair, stopped wearing makeup, and started wearing men's attire (even though their breasts are still visible).

I don't think they are actually "detransitioning" but rather conforming to new pressures around them. But unfortunately many politicians will pat themselves on the back and say they accomplished many detransitions.

Things at the centre have gotten much stricter as well. It"s a new vigor against transgenderism. I was surprised when they suggested I get a double mastectomy!

As for the proposed law that will most likely pass, I am already in a gray area as officially my birth certificate and social security already have me listed as female. So do half of my newer medical records (not the day-centre). It's only my driver's license that doesn't agree with my other official documents. Short of carrying medical records around with me I don't know what else I can do.

I did find out today that I can't have an out-of-state license and remain in the medical program I attend, so I shall remain in the gray area until I have disabled housing available in Oregon.

I am sorry you are going through this. Politics are out of control from both political viewpoints. I hope someday soon thinks will calm down and balance equally to middle of the road.

My name finally came up on the waiting list for an apartment in Oregon. I responded by telling them I am definitely interested and would like to start finishing up the application process. Hopefully I can get a July move-in date but I'll work around their schedule. I already have a quote a $1250 to move my stuff which is really good.

I attend a PACE all inclusive care for the elderly Medical Centre here in Texas, and they have the same type in Portland. I will have to work out the details tomorrow at transferring my insurance from Texas to Oregon. I have an appointment with the social worker in the morning.

I am assuming that the PACE program in Oregon will be much better than the PACE program in Texas. Hopefully it won't be a "religious oriented" facility like the one here.
